Jaaska (undisclosed) was placed on waivers by the Canes on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evidently, Jaaska has been given the green light by Carolina's medical team and will be headed to the minors, assuming he clears waivers. In his 18 regular-season games with the Canes last year, the 27-year-old winger registered four assists, 20 hits and 11 shots while averaging 8:56 of ice time.

Jaaska (undisclosed) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska will likely report to AHL Chicago once he receives the green light to return. He spent most of the 2024-25 regular season in the minors, earning 12 goals and 33 points in 53 games.

Jaaska (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason finale against Nashville, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska continues to deal with an undisclosed injury, and he'll be held out of a fourth consecutive matchup to close out the regular season. Although he's considered day-to-day, it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for the start of the regular season. He'll likely head to AHL Chicago once he's deemed healthy.

Jaaska (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska has been dealing with an undisclosed injury for the past week and will be forced to miss the Hurricanes' penultimate preseason matchup. He's still considered day-to-day, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's preseason finale in Nashville. Regardless of whether he's able to suit up, he'll presumably head to AHL Chicago to begin the regular season.

Jaaska (undisclosed) won't play in Friday's preseason matchup versus Tampa Bay, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska was already facing an uphill battle when it came to securing a spot on the Opening Night roster. Now with his continued absence, the 27-year-old winger will almost certainly have to start the 2025-26 campaign in the minors with AHL Chicago. As such, Jaaska figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests this season.

Jaaska won't face Tampa Bay on Monday due to an undisclosed injury but is considered day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska played in 18 regular-season games for the Hurricanes last year in which he tallied four assists, 20 hits and 11 shots while averaging 8:56 of ice time. The 27-year-old winger probably can't afford to miss too much playing time if he is going to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster. At this point, fantasy managers should probably be expecting Jaaska to play the bulk of 2025-26 in the minors.

Jaaska signed a two-year contract extension with the Hurricanes on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska spent last season with Carolina on a one-year, entry-level contract, and he recorded four assists, 20 hits, nine PIM and three blocked shots while averaging 8:56 of ice time over 18 appearances with the NHL club. The first year of his contract extension is a two-way deal worth at least $425,000, while the second year of the agreement is a one-way deal worth $775,000. While he could split time between the NHL and AHL next season, he should continue to have opportunities to develop before likely joining the Hurricanes in a more full-time capacity during the 2026-27 campaign.

Jaaska was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska was an option for Sunday's contest in Anaheim due to a couple of game-time decisions for the Hurricanes, but those players ended up being available. Jaaska will link back up with the Wolves, where he's generated 10 goals and 24 points across 41 outings. He has four assists over 18 appearances with the Hurricanes in 2024-25.

Jaaska was recalled from AHL Chicago on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jaaska earned four assists over 17 outings with the big club earlier in the season. The 27-year-old appears to be an extra forward for the weekend back-to-back with games in Los Angeles on Saturday and in Anaheim on Sunday. However, he could draw in if there's a yet-to-be-announced injury affecting one of the Hurricanes' forwards.

Jaaska was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Saturday, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

EDGE Analysis

This move came after Jaaska registered an assist in Carolina's 7-3 victory over Utah on Saturday. The Hurricanes are off until Feb. 22 against Toronto due to the 4 Nations Face-Off, and Jaaksa might return to the NHL after the break. The 26-year-old has four assists in 17 outings with the Hurricanes.
